how many suitcases in a people carrier?

[justgaveup]

We're going on a big family holiday, 11 people in all. We're thinking of hiring a people carrier and a car but husband reckons we won't fit all our suitcases in!

There will be 11 people and 6 suitcases - any advice?

Depends upon the people carrier.

I couldn't get more than 2 suitcases in the boot of mine if there was 7 seated in it. If you did 5 in the car and 1 suitcases in the boot and 6 in the people carrier and 5 cases/bags in there with one of the rear sears folded flat you just might be able to make it.

If instead of suitcases...and it depends how big they are ....you did holdalls which squashed a bit you could put them at kids feet which saves a bit on the boot space

If we use all 7 seats in our people carrier we can only get 2 suitcases in, will you be hiring the cars in the UK? we hired an 8 seater when we went to Canada and it was massive with loads of space for cases. What about hiring a mini-bus.
